    • Data to accompany the paper "Entropy Scaling of Viscosity -- II: Predictive Scheme for Normal Alkanes"

    Metadata Updated: July 29, 2022

    Viscosity data for normal alkanes (methane, ethane, etc.) taken from the literature to accompany the paper "Entropy Scaling of Viscosity -- II: Predictive Scheme for Normal Alkanes". The data were obtained from an internal version of the NIST ThermoDataEngine database version 10.4.2. File contents include

    Contents

    • MIDAS_alkanes.csv: The data file containing all the data considered in this study

    • MIDAS_alkanes.bib: The bibliography associated with each datasource in BibTeX format

    • allbibs.pdf: A PDF conversion of the bibliography

    Data File format ##

    • The data are in a comma-separated text format, with the column headings indicating the contents of the column, along with units, where appropriate

    • The phase indicates how the data were measured "L" indicates a liquid phase, "G" a gas phase, "G L" a saturated vapor, and "L G" a saturated liquid

    • For saturated states ("G L" or "L G"), the saturation temperature fully specifies the state

    • For liquid and gaseous states, either the temperature and pressure or temperature and density are provided, and the unused state variable is empty

    • Fluid names match the default names of the compound from NIST REFPROP library

    • The column "TRC_code" indicates the reference code for the data point, and the same references (with spaces and & replaced with hyphens) are used as keys in the BibTeX file
